3. In a line casting machine, the combine tion with side trimming knives arranged so that the opening between them is substan tially horizontal, and an inclined slug chute arranged with its open upper receiving end in front of and adjacent to said trimming knives, a slug receiving shelf v vhich is tilt able about a horizontal forwardly extended axis and adapted to occupy a substantially horizontal position below and in front of the opening between said trimming knives and to be tilted into an inclined position whereby a slug thereon will be caused to slide into the open upper end of said slug chute, a galley arranged to receive slugs discharged from the lower. end. of said slug chute, a galley packer which normally occupies a position in substantial alinement with the left wall of said chute whereby it serves as the left end wall of the galley, a single prime mover, and means intermediate of said prime mover and tilting shelf and galley packer whereby said two parts are caused to move in proper synchronism.
